It's a great opportunity to network with the people who are shaping the national agenda here in the US on this
issue. Last year, people from 26 different states came. This year, we
expect over 500 people from over 30 states and several countries. The above
contact information will work to request a registration package.
Finally, I have a web site for a company I started on this issue over a
decade ago. On the site we list all our materials, upcoming trainings and
new projects that we are working on. It's http://www.firesolutions.com/
